How to disable request pipelining on nginx upstream

We are not using nginx on the upstream side (we have some legacy server),
this is why I was looking for keepalive_requests on the upstream side, or
something to better control the upstream keepalive connections (for instance
when they start failing or just close after a certain threshold of requests
reached).

Something like:

upstream backend {
 server 127.0.0.1:8080;
 keepalive 10;
 keepalive_requests 10;  ##max requests per connection 
}



It could be a good thing to add in nginx upstream module. It would allow
controlling when to close a keepalive upstream connection and setup a new
one.

Thanks!
